One hell of a cracking tobacco, its strong by the end. Head swimmingly strong, love the flavours even the vinegar start.  

A great cigar which isnt very popular for some reasons, but they should be one of the most popular cigars in my opinions. Smells great and smokes even better. Measures in at 5 x 48, medium/full flavour. Got a sweet wrapper and peppery, herbal, nutty and toasted flavours. This was a little young, but still [...]

I really did love this tobacco, couldnt seem to put it into word. Great big & bold flavours, but very samey from start to finish. Smooth and cool, with some great typical Balkan flavours(Smoky, Sweet and Sour). Lacked complexity and little dynamics with the flavours would have made this an amazing smoke. Big thanks to [...]

My review of one hell of a long cigar, the Partagas Serie Du Connaisseur No.1. Measuring in at 7 1/2 x 38, this is a long but slender cigar and should be smoked (like all Panatellas) slowly to really get the most from it. I picked this one up in Cuba as a pair, one i smoked [...]
